PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1951 KU Swamps Emporia State,9 To 1; Big 7 Opener Here Wednesday Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor By BOB NELSON Kansas opened its 1951 baseball season with a 9 to 1 victory over Emporia State here Monday afternoon on the Varsity diamond. The Jayhawkers used their ace hurlers, Carl Sandefur and Jack Stone-street, in limiting the Hornets to five scattered singles while combining eight hits and six Hornet errors for their total. Monday's game was the first of four contests scheduled this week. Kansas will open its Big Seven season here against Nebraska in single games on Wednesday and Thursday starting at 3 p.m. Kansas will play Emporia State at Emporia on Saturday in a return game that was previously postponed because of rain. Sandefur, the Big Seven's leading pitcher with a 7-1 record as a sophomore last year, started on the mound for Kansas. The Hornets scored their only run in the third inning after two were out, on a walk, and singles by Starchy Wilde and Bob Pamister. Stonestreet, a big sophomore righthander, took over in the fourth inning and shut out the Hornets with two singles through the next five innings to gain credit for the victory. It was his first collegiate appearance and an impressive one indeed. Curtis Harris hurled the ninth inning for Kansas. He allowed no hits after walking Bannister, who led off the inning. Kansas took an unearned 1 to 0 lead in the first imming as shortstop Frank Koenig doubled with one away and scored when Walter Hicks' grounder got away from second baseman Wilde. With the bases loaded in the third inning, George Voss singled to center K. U. men picked up another unearned run in the sixth—one of four such scored by the Jayhawkers. field scoring Darrell Houk and Koe-nig. Jay McCee, Emporia's starting pitcher, lost his control in the seventh with one away and was replaced by another righthander, Dent Hamilton. Kansas scored three runs in this inning without a hit by combining three walks, an error, a passed ball, and two hit batsmen. Kansas added its final two runs in the eighth inning on two errors, singles by Houk and Hicks, and a double by Charlie Bether. Koenig paced the Kansas attack with two hits, one a double, and scored four runs in his five appearances at the plate. Wilde got two of Emporia's five hits—all singles.

Faurot Needs A Quarterback To Make His Split-T Work HBP-McGee (Bether), Hamilton (Smith). Mechanically, Schoonmaker and Hook fill the bill, but neither yet has the tools so vital to sound quarterbacking—maturity, judgment and leadership. Only time—specifically those Saturday scrimmages between now and Missouri's Sept. 22 opener with Fordham—will develop these traits. ER—Sandefur 1, McGee 4, Hamilton 1 Both are well-knit youngsters at 5 feet 11 inches with Hook a somewhat lighter but still compact 170 pounds. Passable throwers right now, they are sure-handed with the ball but most impressive as runners. Each has the speed and drive to get yardage off the split-T. the famed "keep" play, which--ever since Bus Entsinger's exit in 1948--has been something of a duod in Missouri's overall offense. Columbia, Mo. (U.P.)—It will come as no surprise to Don Faurot's neighbors to learn that the Missouri football coach has done an "early planting" job with his quarterbacks. Beyond any doubt, this pair has jumped off to an early lead in the opening lap of the 1951 quarterback derby. of the state's most sought-after athletes on his graduation from high school, Schoonmaker played offensive halfback and defensive linebacker for the M.U. freshman team in 1950, and numeraled in basketball. Ine No. 4 man, Jack Ranson, played some of his best tennis of the season to defeat Gary Stearns, 6-1, 6-2. Good quarterbacks require lots of early cultivation and that's especially true at Mizzou this year. Graduation cleaned out 1950's top threesome of Phil Klein, Bob Henlev and Bob Hailey. Digging into his new personnel) Faurot switched two men to the split-T driver's seat this spring, and the early returns, at least, have been promising. The newcomers are Bob Schoonmaker, 185-pound freshman halfback from Lebanon—and Jim Hook, an aggressive blond from Lee's Summit who won his fresh numeral at fullback two years ago. Minus this trio, Faurot can count just two returnees with any experience at all. They are last year's B team bosses from Kansas City—Walter Trueblood of Westport high and Paseo's Bill Fessler. The latter is now out for track and excused from spring drills. Bill Thompson took his match from Larry Klimestervit, 6-4, 6-4. EA—Sanderl J. McGee | IN- ton 1. PB—Pasquariello.

Ranson and Thompson won the second doubles match by scores of In the doubles competition the K.U. team of Crawford and Swartzell lost to Mechem and Powell, 2-6, 4-6. The Washburn players are known throughout the state for their doubles prowess. Hook, nickname "Gabby", returns to football after a fruitless chase for his varsity letter in both baseball and basketball. Clay Cooper, assistant backfield coach, induced the Lee's Summit junior to draw his gear this spring, and give the wideopen quarterback position a try. Up to now, anyway, Cooper's hunch looks good. Hustling John Friedburger performed as expected. The scrapy athlete ran up a 5-0 lead in the first set against Phil Blackburn and then eased off for a 6-3 victory. He won the second match by the same score. The Jayhawk tennis team won its opening match of the season Monday night at Washburn university in Topeka. The Kansas boys took all five of the singles matches, but had to settle for a split in the doubles. Bob Swartzell had to fight hard to win from Gene Powell. He came from behind to win, 7-5, 6-3. Tennis Team Wins Opener Charley Crawford, a lefthanded swatter in the No. 1 position, won his match from Dick Mechem, 6-4, 6-3. K-Club Banquet To Be Saturday The third annual K-club Relays banquet will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Saturday in the Union Ballroom. Bob Edman, president of the club, announced that Howard Engleman, former K.U. cage great and now a lawyer at Salina, would be master of ceremonies. Paul Endacott, executive vice-president of Phillips Oilers and K.U. All-American in 1922 and 1923, will be the main speaker of the evening. Coaches Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Jules V. Sikes, and Bill Easton will give short speeches at the banquet at which 85 of the top high school athletes in the state will be guests. Pictures of the K.U. football highlights of 1950 will be shown after the banquet. team of Blackburn and Stearns. Coach Glen Tongier plans to send his boys against a team from Baker university tomorrow at 2 p.m. He he said he may not use his first line boys, but will open with squad members who saw no action in Topeka. "We have to do some more work on our doubles," Coach Tongier said. "I may try Ranson and Swartzell to see how they work together." 6-3, 3-6, 6-0. They defeated the team of Blackburn and Stearns. K-State Trackmen To Miss Relays K. U. meets Nebraska Thursday in the Big Seven opener at Lineoln. Tongier has not decided definitely on his travelling squad, but it will probably be about the same group that went to Topeka to defeat Wash- burn. Manhattan, Kan, (U.P.)—Two top Kansas State college trackmen have been withdrawn from competition in the Kansas Relays Saturday because of injury and illness. Wichita Tourney To Honor Connie Mack Coach Ward Haylett said he had withdrawn Virgil Severnus, high jumper, and Herb Hoskins, broad jumper. Wichita, Kan. (U.P.)—Six members of baseball's ball of fame have accepted invitations to attend the opening of the 17th annual national championship tournament for non-pro clubs here Aug. 17, the national baseball congress said today. Connie Mack, 89-year-old ex-manager of the Philadelphia A's, will be honored in special ceremonies. Other all-time greats who will attend include Fred Clarke, Honus Wagner, Mickey Cochrane, Kid Nichols and George Sisler, to attend. KU Soccer Team Plays Sunday "If you don't know their games then play your own." That's one of the main reasons the University of Kansas is now represented by a soccer team. Composed entirely of foreign students at K.U. who are unfamiliar with popular American games, the team is coached by Michael Ingrisanio, instructor in English. So far this season, they have a record of two ties in as many games. Last Sunday they met a strong team from Kansas City, Mo., the Benson Chiefs and emerged with a hard-fought 1 to 1 deadlock. Earlier this season the soccer players met a team from Atchison in a game that ended at 5-all. They play a team from Oklahoma A. and M. next Sunday at 2 p.m. in Kansas City's C.Y.C. stadium. Soccer is played somewhat like football, except that only the goalie can touch the ball with his hands. The whole idea of the game is to kick the ball, only slightly smaller than an American basketball, through goalposts placed at either end of the field. There are no substitutes on the K.U. squad—one full team and no more. Sami Saliba, from Lebanon, is the goal keeper. The two fullbacks are Bezale Berger, Vera Cruz, Mexico, and Andres Martinez, San Jose, Costa Rica. Adnan Abdullah, Baghdad, Iraq; Alan Walton, England; and Van Sutton of Czechoslovakia are the halfbacks. The forwards are Luis Bianchiini, Quancaste, Costa Rica; Bautista and Manuel Murillo, both from Cartago, Costa Rica; Baaer "Shocks" Shirazi, Bombay, India; and Bernard Weitzman, Vera Cruz, Mexico Relays Field Completed With Three Milers The field of the 1951 Kansas Relays was completed today with the addition of three milers who will compete against the nationally-famous duo of Don Gehrmann, ex-Wisconsin ace, and Fred Wilt, formerly of Indiana and now with the F.B.I. in New York. Gehmann and Wilt were among the first entries in the Glenn Cunningham Mile to be run next Saturday. The erstwhile Badger is the defending champion, having won for the last two years. He holds a half-share of the record with Blaine Rideout of North Texas State in 4:10.1. Dennis Johannson, Purdue ace and winner of the Jerry Thompson Mile in the recent Texas Relays, should give this pair a real battle. He won at Austin in 4:21.1. Only a freshman, he is one of the standouts on the Boilermaker squad. Javier Montes of Texas Western is another miler who is familiar to track fans. He took second to Gehrmann in the Glenn Cunningham mile last year, and so far this year has captured the 3,000-meter title at the Texas carnival in 8:50. He also took second place in the mile behind Johannson. The third entry was Dewey Johnson of Drake, who took second to Montes in the 3,000-meters. Another feature of the Relays, the decathlon, now stands at a total of 13. They are: Dean Pryor, Bob Ambler and Dick Hazard, University of Arkansas, Jim Cooke, Lincoln college, Bob McRae, College of Emporia, Don Holst, Emporia State, John Wilkinson, Drake university, Ken Lindstrom, South Dakota State college, Herb Falkenburg, Trinity university. John Connell, Texas Western, Palmer Retzlaf, unattached, Bob Gadt, William Jewell college, and Jim Klein, Grinnell college. Patronize Daily Kansan Advertisers FLYING?
